Rudraksha Mala

Rudraksha Mala are bead necklaces.
Rudraksha is the seed of a fruit of a rare species of a tree found in Karnataka and in the Konkan area
It should be worn on the neck, threaded by gold, silver or woolen threads, so that it remains in gentle touch with the body, which increases the body’s immunity.
The rudraksha thread protects the wearer from lightings, accidents and brings him good luck according to Indian saints and rishis. People with positive currents of energy should wear it on their right hand and those with negative energy current on their left hands, for good results.
